ok, funny story, my powerbook G4 has the two finger scolling feature, but my pal's powerbook G4 doesnt have it. Today, we were using his computer, and i kept on trying to, you guess it, scroll with two fingers, then had to just use the scroll bar. I repeated this process about ten or fifteen times, after a while, my friend though i was making fun of his lack of two fingered scroll. heh.

The two scroll isn't the problem for me, I use a Logitech MX510 mouse on my mac. I go to uni and keep pushing the side of their mice thinking they have back and forward buttons.

The other is the FireFox mouse gestures, I used to use opera many years ago and loved the gestures, so naturally when they became available for firefox i downloaded the plugin. Now at uni when browsing back and forward I right click and twitch the mouse, and all that comes up is the right click menu :D People have asked me if i'm "ok" whilst i been browsing the internet at uni.

Regards,
